The Conceptual Relationship between Workplace Well-Being, Corporate Social Responsibility, and Healthcare Costs

摘要

This article builds a conceptual argument for connecting subjective well-being (SWB) and corporate social responsibility (CSR), from the perspective of corporate healthcare costs. We propose that the higher the corporate attention to CSR programs that include SWB, the higher will be the corporate reputation for being socially responsible. We further posit that the higher the corporate attention to CSR programs that include SWB, the lower will be the corporate healthcare-related costs. These propositions augment the existing literature on SWB and CSR, specifically the widely accepted framework by Danna and Griffin (1999) describing the antecedents and consequences of well-being in the workplace.
